The 1940 SENTINEL
LAWRENCEVILLE HIGH SCHOOL
LAWRENCEVILLE, VIRGINIA
An annual has been the dream of each senior
class of Lawrenceville High School for several
years. We hope that this, the first volume of
The Sentinel will be a fulfillment of that
dream and a guard over your memories in the
years to come. May it be a source of pleasure
as you read it and relive your high school days.
We, the Senior Class, in appreciation of the
wholehearted support and splendid cooperation
of the student body of the Lawrenceville High
School, do in this year, 1940, dedicate the first
copy of our annual, The Sentinel, to our
Alma Mater.
R. Jefferson Jones, Principal
The education that has been offered you here is not so valuable as the education that
you must get for yourselves. The things that are most worth while you must work out
and achieve alone. Your education must not stop where it is. May you ". . . find
tongues in trees, books in running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything.”
We hope that we have given you certain tools, certain standards, and certain guides that
will greatly aid you in your future achievements.
Grave responsibilities will be upon you. How you meet them will reflect our guid-
ance; it will also determine whether you will be an asset or a liability to mankind.
I think I know how you will meet those responsibilities.
Shakespeare has said, "Sweet are the uses of adversity”; nevertheless, I wish for each
of you the joy and success that will make your life happy.

Things to Remember at L. H.S
1939-1940
F. F. A. CHAPTER BEGUN
For the first time in the history of L. H. S. the school activities include an F. F. A.
Chapter or a "Future Farmers of America” organization. This was begun in Lawrence-
ville during September under the able leadership of Mr. J. M. Huffman and it has
proved of much value to the school.
The boys belonging to this class held a Father and Son Banquet in February. In
March they presented a minstrel entitled "Black Face Comedies” in Lawrenceville and
this performance was later given at Brodnax.
PLAY CONTEST SPONSORED
The Hi-Y Club sponsored a play writing contest during the month of October in
an effort to discover hidden talent in the school. Prizes were offered for the best mystery
and comedy. Amilie Segar, Mary Tait, and Robert Morris were the fortunate pupils and
the skits of the latter two were presented in chapel.
FIRST ANNUAL PUBLISHED
The possibility of having an annual at L. H. S. has been discussed for several years.
The graduating students of 193 9 left to their successors the privilege of publishing an
annual. After quite a bit of consideration and labor, the Sentinel has been completed
and put on sale.
AMATEUR PROGRAM
Under the sponsorship of the Hi-Y Club and the Diversified Occupation Class an
amateur program was held in the High School auditorium April 16. The program was
most enjoyable.
S. P. A. FEATURED BY BOW-WOW
The school paper, the Bow-Wow, has benefited by an entirely new and distinctive
news service during the past year. This association is known as the School Press of
America cr the S. P. A. It operates on the same order as the A. P. of the city and state
newspapers.
Every school belonging to this organization sends a copy of each of its papers to
the S. P. A. From these, the best articles are chosen to be printed in the School Press,
a copy of which is sent to each participating school. Any school may re-print these
news stories, editorials, features, or jokes and stamp them "S. P. A.”

PLAYS PRESENTED
Instead of the usual Senior Play, three one-act plays were given at Lawrenceville
in the spring of 1940. The sophomores gave "The Perfect Gentleman,” a comedy; the
juniors presented the mystery, "The White Phantom” and the seniors gave a drama
entitled "Three Pills In a Bottle.”
FACULTY WINS OVER VARSITY SQUAD
As a climax to the 1939-1940 basketball season, the High School faculty was vic-
torious over the regular team by a score of 33-12. R. D. (Blimpy) Hayes, the rotund
gentleman of the sophomore class and Julian Scarbrough, the school’s runt, acted as
substitutes for the faculty.
S. C. A. MEETING IN LAWRENCEVILLE
The yearly meeting of the Student Ccoperative Association or the S. C. A. took
place in the High School auditorium on March the twenty-first. Delegates from the
counties of Brunswick, Lunenburg, Halifax, Mecklenburg, and Charlotte gathered for
the all-day meeting. Entertainment was provided for all by the program which had
"music” as its theme.
ATHLETIC YEAR OUTSTANDING
The Lawrenceville "Bulldogs” emerged victorious in seven of their eleven football
games during the ’39 season. The highlight of the season was the defeat of their rival,
Blackstone, for football supremacy in this section. The basketball team broke even
in the won and lost column. Plans are being made for a baseball team and a schedule
has been arranged.
In January Coach Murray from the University of Virginia spoke to the players at
a banquet and on this occasion the new jackets were presented to the proud players.
HI-Y CLUB ACTIVITIES
Nine members of the Hi-Y Club accompanied by their leader, Mr. White, went as
delegates to the state conference, which was held in Lynchburg during the week-end of
February the sixteenth.
Their Father and Son Banquet was a great success and the other annual banquet
more than equaled it. The latter was held the last week in April and all the boys and
their dates had a splendid time.
GLEE CLUB ACTIVITIES
Throughout the year the White Glee Club under the direction of M. G. White was
extremely active and they received many invitations to sing. Besides the singing in
chapel, the group rendered enjoyable programs in LaCrosse, Alberta and Dolphin; it
entertained the Junior Women’s Club and on numerous occasions sang in the Lawrence-
ville churches.
During music week the club presented a Japanese operetta entitled "Miss Cherry-
blossom.” The principal parts were portrayed by Betty Elam Elmore, Garland Clarke,
Barbara Peterson, Downing Tait, Andrew Bailey and Robert Morris.
The costumes and the setting were lovely and "Miss Cherryblossom” was most
successful.

Congratulations and Hearty Good Wishes
to students of the Lawrenceville High School
The major purpose of education is to prepare you to participate
intelligently in, and contribute helpfully to, the affairs of vital
interest to your community, state and nation. In this, your first
duty is to your home community. If the citizens of each community
are enthusiastically interested in its welfare and are willing to give
unselfishly of their time and ability to the end that it may be a
happier, more prosperous, and more progressive community, it
follows that the state and nation will share correspondingly in
these benefits.
The major purpose of The Lawrenceville Chamber of Commerce
is to advance the interests of Brunswick County and its citizens,
to the end that Brunswick County may be a happier, more pros-
perous, and more progressive community.
In the advancement of this purpose, we earnestly solicit your
interest, your talents, and your enthusiasm, and extend to you on
our part the assurance of our hearty co-operation.
